Thank you Jurgen, trouble is I don't know what kind of bird it is...I think it's a black Kite, but I also don't know where I got the photo. I love the look of the bird, and I loved painting him. I love the Raptors, for they are so intense and act so superior to mere mortals. They look at us humans with disdain. Then they fly off so we are left behind to gaze and wonder where they are off to now. we are their lowly minions even when they are captured they look at us with hostility in their eyes. We should leave them flying free...
